Stoneham kitchens 160th history timeline

Stoneham Kitchens to plant 2,000 trees to mark 160th anniversary

Since 1864, Stoneham Kitchens has become synonymous with crafting superior furniture and this year the British kitchen manufacturer is celebrating its 160th anniversary. To mark the occasion we will be planting 2,000 trees over the next year to re-establish lost woodlands in Europe, while supporting its sustainability goals.

“Stoneham began by making rungs for ladders and staircase balustrades in 1864, producing our first table in 1939, and manufacturing our first fitted kitchens in the late 1960s,” explains Adrian Stoneham, MD at Stoneham Kitchens. “We source all our timber sustainably, but we wanted to go a step further for our 160th anniversary. So, we are working with One Tree Planted to support their projects in Europe where forests have been lost.”

As well as supporting One Tree Planted, Stoneham has created new innovations in kitchen design for its birthday. This includes a bespoke ‘picture frame’ for triple or double appliances. Acting as a decorative surround for the appliances this unique feature can incorporate LED lighting to highlight the detail on the frame while illuminating ovens and much more. The frame can also be designed to match the colour and detail of worktops or splashbacks or in a complementary pattern or colour.

The luxury kitchen company manufactures one of the most comprehensive furniture collections including its in-frame (Heritage), contemporary (Avant Garde) and handleless (Latitude) collections. This will be further boosted with new kitchen ranges to commemorate its 160th including; Chart an in-frame kitchen range with a slimmer 55mm frame and Hadlow which features an ultra-slim 10mm frame. A third new range, Matfield, boasts the appearance of an in-frame kitchen but within a single façade.

“Stoneham has been a privately-owned family business for over a century-and-a-half, providing bespoke furniture for customers across the UK, including the Royal Family” explains Adrian Stoneham. “Our workforce of 75 staff is highly skilled and knowledgeable, producing high-quality, stylish kitchens that our customers love, and which stand the test of time. Our broad manufacturing capability permits bespoke and often unique cabinetry production, which means our designers can enhance and personalise designs to suit discerning clients. That’s why Stoneham is still thriving and continuing to grow today. We are very proud to reach this important landmark in our history.”
